I read this on a blog and I feel
in love with it. I had it bookmarked and
would re-read it every so often. I
wanted to share not only for this girl, but for all young women out there as a
simple prayer...
My heart for her is that she will learn that her journey
is where she will become strong
that her strength is from God not within herself
that she waits for a man that will love her heart, her
mind and dream her dreams as well as his own
one that will respect her choice that true love waits,
because he too is waiting
that she explores her God given dreams with no pressure
to marry before her time
that she opens her heart to God’s invitation to be
transformed by Him
that she stands when no one else does
that she speaks for those who cannot
that she be the light when everything else is dark
that she has the eyes to see the lovely in the unlovely,
for that is so often where we see God
that she lives loved... because she knows the depth of
which she is loved
that she hears His song over her each and everyday
that she is able to forgive because she knows the depth
of her forgiveness
that family always matters and knows that it's worth
fighting for
that she would keep God first, others second and herself
third
that her trust is always safe with the One who is perfect
and steadfast
that even if she had no one she is not ever alone because
God is always with her
that she has a heavenly Father who gives good gifts to
His children
that the gifts He has given her have been hand chosen for
a purpose
that she is able to see her path before her clearly and
will follow after it even if no one else sees it too
that she dreams big dreams and prays even bigger prayers
and that with each day she will love deeper, fight harder
and pray with conviction
